2016 Presidential Poll

After months of preparation, our 2016 Presidential Poll is now open! This easy to use online poll is the first of its kind and a true snapshot of who grassroots tea party conservatives see as the Republican Party's best hope in 2016!

Based off a Condorcet preference voting model, this poll offers a crowd-sourced view of deeper voter preferences. In other words, this poll is dynamic, and offers much better insight into which candidate you prefer than a traditional poll.

Everyone we have put on our list has been on the receiving end of a great deal of Presidential hype recently, and offer conservatives a wide variety of options. 2016 will be a crucial election for our nation after 8 years of Barack Obama.We must be unified!

Phil Mickelson: Drastic Changes

"Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery." If there was ever a quote to summarize what both state and local governments are doing to the American taxpayer, it is the "legalized robbery" that Calvin Coolidge spoke about.

In fact it has gotten so bad that in places like California, top earners have to pay upwards of 63% in combined state and local income taxes! Just last week golfer Phil Mickelson, a native Californian, hinted that he would have to make "drastic changes"with his personal finances because of high taxes.

Phil is not alone, and people are fleeing California in record numbers, begging the question: Who do these high tax rates really hurt?

The answer: the middle class. You see, here at the Contract From America we understand that high tax rates are simply not the answer, and California is a great example why. President Obama and his liberal allies continue to pile up debt at record levels by spending well beyond their means, in the middle of a recession, and then expecting us to pay for their irresponsibility!

We don't have a revenue problem in this country, we have a spending problem!High wage earners are taking that money to income tax free states such as Texas and Florida, which are now thriving. California on the other hand is crumbling under the weight of its own tax and spend mentality.

Over the next four years, taxes will be a key battleground issue for conservatives and the Contract From America will push our pillar of fundamental tax reform harder now than ever; keeping signers and other legislators honest to their pledges. We need you standing next to us in this fight.

Help Us Pick A Winner!

Every major problem facing Washington D.C. can be traced back to the lack of one major commodity: leadership.

From issues like taxation and gun control, to the current debt ceiling debate, Washington D.C. is pathetically void of leadership. In fact, last night at a pre-inauguration party, the criticisms of this deficit in leadership were on full display when rapper Lupe Fiasco launched into an anti-Obama tirade and was thrown off stage.

The vulgar display made it crystal clear that the coming four years are going to be rough unless real leadersstand up and fight.

We cannot waste any time rallying behind leaders who will take our movement, and the Contract From America to the next level. It is critical we craft a poll to figure out what candidate YOU most want to run for President in 2016.

Dear Patriot,

President Obama just announced a barrage of new Executive Orders designed to steal your Second Amendment rights!

Twenty-three new massive power grabs. Huge expansion of Washington control. Direct assault on your liberty and your family. Obama is not trying an end-run on the Constitution - it is a direct assault! Obama is doing exactly what he promised to his radical followers like Nancy Pelosi, George Soros and the entire Left. And the liberal media, of course, is conspiring in this outright assault against your Second Amendment freedom.

Exploiting school children, grieving families, and a national tragedy, Obama will stop at nothing to push his radical policies.

His sweeping edicts include even further expansion of Obamacare -even requiring your doctor to report whether you own a gun or not. Add in another $4.5 Billion in deficit spending. And you have Obama's dream - a neutered 2nd Amendment and direct control of your life and your family.

Fellow patriot, it's critical that you stand with me today and make your voice heard. I won't hold back in opposing Obama's assault on our liberties. I need you to help me make a firm stand. Will you be one of 250 supporters who contributes $35 today? Click Here.

If we allow these executive orders to go unopposed, it will allow Obama to expand his control over our nation and our future. Don't like Obamacare? It is going to get worse. A secret national database with your private medical information plus a Big-government registry of every single gun owner in America.

Think about it; your Doctor is being encouraged to report you to Obama if he believes you may have a gun in your home. Outrageous!

I refuse. I will not allow it! I cannot be silent and allow this radical President in a second term to violate the Constitution - to violate the rule of law - to use your hard-earned tax money to violate your own Second Amendment rights.

Make no mistake, a bunch of weak-kneed politicians and bureaucrats in Washington agree with Obama's agenda. They won't lift a finger to defend you. They won't stand for the Rule of Law or the Constitution.

But I pledge to do anything and everything to defend you and your family against Obama and those in Washington who want to take away your freedoms. Whether it is the Second Amendment, your First Amendment rights, or simply your right to be free American citizens, I will fight the continual onslaught against your families and your freedoms.

Liberty is too precious to quietly allow any President to show such disregard for the rule of law, fiscal responsibility, and the foundations of our democracy.

Make no mistake: Conservative colleagues and I pledge to do anything and everything to defend your rights against Obama and the Liberal Media's assault on freedom. And with your support, we will win this fight. Make your contribution of $35 today by clicking here.

Unconstitutional

If there is one thing President Obama hates, it is having to go through Congress. He has signed executive orders for just about everything, but nowhe is after something sacred;the Second Amendment!

In a speech this week, Vice President Joe Biden openly declared that President Obama will begin to dismantle the Second Amendment by signing an executive order, completely disregarding Congress or the will of the people.Make no mistake: this is the first step towards totalitarianism. A government which can simply issue an executive order and take away your rights, is one that doesn't value your rights!

Our privately owned firearms helped make America a free country. If we give them away we are surrendering that ultimate freedom and degrading the honor of those revolutionaries who died to give us this right!

2016 Poll

The next four years will be vital to the future of the conservative movement, the tea party, and the Republican Party. Since the conservative wave of 2010 many strong leaders have emerged in Congress and in State Houses across the nation.

Politicians such as Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, and Ted Cruz have become household names and offer a bright future for the Republican party and for tea party supporters everywhere. But which of those leaders do you want to see run for President?

To answer that question, we are constructing a poll to gauge opinion from all of you, supporters of The Contract From America. Howeverthese projects are not free and require a lot of effort to build.Therefore we need your help!

Betrayed

While most Americans celebrated New Years Eve, Republicans in Congress were busy turning their backs on the conservatives and tea party members across the country that helped get them elected. They completely abandoned their position on taxes and spending, instead choosing to raise taxes for the first time in a generation. Thanks to the betrayal of Republicans, 77% of American households will see higher taxes, all with minimal cuts to federal spending. Mere months ago, Republicans were fighting back against the President's plan to make $10 in cuts for every $1 in new taxes. Now, the Republicans have approved $1 in cuts for every $41 in new taxes.

All supporters of the Contract From America ought to be justifiably furious.
